Stafford has tendinitis in elbow

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

I still don't understand why New England gets another conditional draft pick because of Stafford's tendonitis. 🤔🤨

The third and most recent time I seriously messed up my rotator cuff I was playing some of the best tennis of my life. I was playing so well, I didn’t want to mess it up so I started hitting the gym on a regular basis. 

 

I soon found myself at the doctor’s office while he reviewed my MRI. He wanted to know about my exercise routine, and he stopped me when I got to the military press. He said something like “Nobody should ever do that! It will wreck your shoulders!” To which I responded “when then why is the equipment in the gym owned by the hospital? The hospital where you work and operate and where I just had my MRI?” 

 

Working out sounds like a good idea, but it’s also a potential problem. 

Ugh— you can’t win! Don’t get me started on rotator cuffs, but let’s just say that I have to do massive yoga stretching on my shoulders every day.

I've had golfer's elbow a few times and others here are right.  You really need to rest it for like 8-12 weeks to let it fully heal or you are just going to endlessly aggravate it.  I'm sure Stafford is getting the best treatment, but it's likely going to be a nuisance all season.  He won't miss time, but I'm curious to see if it effects his performance.

Wow this is great stuff, thank you. Mine really flares up only when I do chest day at the gym. Or if I do 100+ push ups. I was a gym rat for a long time and think the overtraining got to me. Its better than it was but when I push a tennis ball into my elbow I feel pretty terrible pain. It feels like something needs to be flushed out of that joint, it just doesn't feel normal compared to the other side. I still can't even do 1 dip because the pain is so bad. 

Is it tennis or golfer's elbow? I have golfer's. Mine is doing pull-ups, curls, or any back exercise. Dead lifts and shrugs are COMPLETELY out of the question. Sometimes it's so bad it radiates to my lower triceps and then I can't do those either. So I take a break from those exercises, beat the ***** out of it with a theragun (til it bruises), and wait for it to heal. That's what dry needle therapy is for. It's meant to disturb the area to make your body send blood to the tendon. There are very few blood vessels there and that's why it takes so long to heal.

I thought for sure you were gonna accuse me of being a resident TBD doctor, or telling me I should retire from lifting so I could hope to walk again and play with my kids.

Stafford played with a broke back one year, not saying it won't hinder him some, but he's a tough guy. Doubt we will see much of a difference on the field, after the games I'm sure he will pay though.

I’ve had elbow tendinitis (lateral epicondyle or tennis elbow from exercising arms) and it sucks. I got over it by not using it outside of activities of daily living for MONTHS. Tendons are poorly vascularized so if they are giving him platelet-rich plasma injections it’s probably a more moderate or severe case of tendinitis.

People laugh it off due to its name, but it can linger for years, easy to flare up too. It is very painful. You can play through it, but hurts like hell to do a lot of things, let alone throw.

I have golfer’s elbow. I’ve only played golf 1-2 in my life. Got it from lifting weights. I’m perfectly fine if I’m not working out. But, once I starting doing preacher curls, it flares up pretty badly. It’s not the most painful thing, but it stops me from doing that lift. I can’t imagine having to throw (if this is what made it flare) 30-40 times per week with it.

I’m happy Stafford got a ring, but that was a pretty dick move by him.

That was pretty dick to just turn around and walk away.  Like wtf be a good citizen.

They have lots of shots they can give to make the pain disappear for a few hours for a game but it will make practice time more difficult. I like Stafford alot but hope he is not playing that opener.

If I had to guess, he will play but I could see it affecting him in the game considering they’ve been in TC for 2 weeks and had to shut down his arm and put him on a pitch count after he didn’t throw the whole off-season. He’s prone to picks as it is and now has a new WR in Robinson where he will have very little time on task.

I highly doubt Stafford is going to miss the game.

It’s not about missing the game. It’s about how he plays in the game.

Based on when I had it, it will probably affect him.  Unless there is some shot they can give him, not sure.  I had it for years and it was bad when trying to do certain things.  Never really got anything done doctor wise. It was more of a stop doing stuff and eventually it will heal type of thing.

I can deadlift heavy with no problem. So mine must be tennis elbow. Ironically enough I played tennis 2-3 days a week for 10 years but never felt any pain. It wasn't until I think I overtrained it at the gym and caused some type of permanent damage. I thought it would eventually heal but on go. Its been 2+ yrs of me not being able to do dips and pain when bench pressing and push ups. I don't experience any pain when not working out. Any suggestions? I'm going to look into the dry needle therapy.

I agree- week one and two often offended are not on the same page so this lack of practice could be difference between a win and loss.

I think if it's been over 2 years you can safely spend the money on an orthopedist. That's a really long time.  It's also interesting that you're only bothered when working out.

I want to beat the best the teams have to offer, and I am sure the players would agree..

 

but you be you... 

 

I could care less if the Bills beat teams at their very best. The objective is to win the Superbowl. That is ultimately what matters in the NFL.

 

Game 1 was extremely important last year. If we had won it we would have had home field against Kansas City in the playoffs. Would the players be upset if they had won it because  Roethlisberger was unable to play? Or is it more important for their "honor" that they beat every team at their very best?

 

Do you think there's asterisks beside every Superbowl Champion about how they didn't beat everyone at full strength? It doesn't matter one iota. The players want to win the Superbowl.

 

If Cincinnati would have won the Superbowl last year do you think the players and fans would be saying "yeah but it really doesn't count because Odell Beckham got hurt?"

 

Players don't wish serious injury on anyone... And they may feign that they want to "beat the best"... but in reality, they just want to be holding the trophy at the end of the year. 

[LabattBlue]

Speculating about if Stafford may play(or how he plays) in a game that is A MONTH FROM NOW?

 

While we are at it, just curious how he will look in Week 1, 2026?

in that path to success A. no one is wishing Injury on anyone, B. no one is laughing about an injury and C. most people want to beat the best to be the best.  and in that path, that gets us to home field advantage throughout and we make it and win the big game then life is good.

 

But I would like to say I'm the better person by not putting up a laughing smiley face concerning someone else's injury.
